【摘要】：英格兰地方志的编撰始于16世纪70年代,以威廉·兰巴德的《肯特郡志》为标志,后又有约翰·斯托的《伦敦城志》、托马斯·纳什的《雅茅斯城志》、威廉·伯顿的《莱斯特郡志》、威廉·达格代尔的《沃里克郡志》等一批优秀的作品问世,由此,地方志特别是郡志的编撰进入繁荣期。从17世纪下半叶开始,地方志的撰写增加了"自然史"的内容。这一时期编撰地方志的主体是乡绅阶层,他们受过良好的教育,或是法律学者,或是纹章官,或是古物研究者。作为民族国家命运共同体一员的地方志史家,修志行为既反映了他们的民族情感和对国家的热爱,同时也体现了乡绅强烈的地方认同感,由此形成"乡绅修志"现象。产生"乡绅修志"这一现象的原因在于,十六七世纪既是英国民族国家的形成时期,也是地方认同和郡共同体形成的历史时期。"乡绅修志"即是地方认同和民族认同交织在一起的文化体现。
[Abstract]:The compilation of the Local Chronicles of England began in the 1670s and was marked by William Lambard's Kent Chronicles, followed by John Stowe's London City Records and Thomas Nash's Yarmouth chronicles. William Burton's Leicester County Records, William Dagdale's Warwick County Records, and so on, so the compilation of local chronicles, especially county chronicles, entered a period of prosperity. Since the second half of the 17 th century, the writing of local chronicles has added the content of natural history. The main body of the local chronicles during this period was the gentry, who were well educated, either law scholars, heraldry, or antiquities researchers. As a member of the national destiny community, the local chronicists not only reflect their national feelings and love of the country, but also reflect the local identity of the squire. The reason for this phenomenon lies in the fact that the 167th century was not only the forming period of the British nation-state, but also the historical period of the local identity and the formation of the county community. " The local identity and national identity are intertwined with each other.
